UPDATE 1: The Cubs aquired 24 year old Jacob Brigham (RHP) from the Rangers for Geovany Soto. Brigham has spent the 2011 and 2012 seasons in AA and has totaled 238.1 innings for AA Frisco. He allowed 229 hits, walked 3.8 while striking out 8.7 per 9.

The Cubs acquired Jaye Chapman and Arodys Vizaino for Maholm and Johnson. Vizcaino entered the season as the 40th ranked prospect in baseball.
